Chapter 9:

"Is she going to be okay?"

"Miss, your going to have to go outside and wait."

"NO! Is my Buffy going to be okay?!" Willow screamed, worried.

"Your friend is in critical condition. I suggest calling whoever you can *while* you can."

Tears sprang to her eyes, shock vibrated through her body, "Critical..."

The nurse had already walked away ... Cruel ...

------------------

"Giles, can you call Buffy's mom?"

"Does she know Willow?" Giles asked over the phone quickly.

"No, but I can't ... I have to go back to see Buffy. Just please."

*dummmmmmmmmm* *click*

"God help us all," Giles said, closing his eyes and praying.

------------------

"Buffy?"

"Buffy?"

"Buffy?"

"STOP IT!"

"What's going on? Why is she screaming. Nurse. Nurse, why is she screaming?"

"NO!"

"Please, none of you can be in here!"

------------------

Above her, Xander, Giles, Joyce, Willow, Anya, and Riley were talking all at once.

"Let me die."

"What the hell?"

"Did she just say let me die?"

"Of course not!"

"Yes, she did!"

"I will NOT tell you again, go! You can't be in here or I'll have security throw you out!" the nurse said sternly.

"Fine," Giles said, motioning to everyone, even Joyce.

They all rose and left the room, leaving a dead silence behind.

------------------

I'm going to die and so is my baby. Parker's baby.

"No, you aren't."

"Who said that?"

"I did," the female oracle said as she stepped into Buffy's room, closing the door behind her.

"It isn't important who I am but trust that you and your child are not going to die. I won't let you."

"But, the doctors said when I was suppost to be sleeping, I'd miscarry," Buffy said, confused.

"Buffy, that may be but I'm here and I won't let you die," she said moving back towards the door.

"Oh, before I go I want you to know. Your child isn't Parker's Buffy. Your child is Angel's."

"What? It can't be!"

"Not realistically, no. You don't understand and I don't expect you too but when your well, seek Angel out and force him to tell you the truth. Until then rest and preserve your strength. Your going to need it," she said with extensive certainty.
